i still can't format correctly. embarrassing. :/

<<<<<<<

Later Foggy would feel guilty about it. Not in a logical way; logically, your honor, the defense recognized that no one was getting Matt Murdock, grown man, attorney, kind-of-prickly-about-the-blind-thing, and 180lbs of muscled vigilante, to do anything that he didn't want to do. But he still clearly shouldn't have left Matt to storm out of the alley on his own, and getting drunk with Karen was probably something that the universe disapproved of. After all, if Foggy had followed Matt out of the alley yesterday, he wouldn't be experiencing the wrong end of the Devil-of-Hell's-Kitchen today. Things would be making sense, instead of lining up with a certain nightmarish logic where sometimes, Foggy's best friend kicked down the office door in his court suit and tie, grabbed Foggy, got him in a really immovable headlock, and started demanding information about Nelson and Page like Karen wasn't staring at him fifteen feet away and thirty seconds away from a screaming panic attack.

Foggy sympathized. He felt like he was due a panic attack himself; Matt was vicious, and Matt was very strong, and this was what it must be like to be in combat, Foggy, thought; it felt a little like a war movie. Matt was talking about breaking his arm. Matt certainly sounded - and felt - like he would do it. Things felt a little fuzzy; it felt like the firm boundary between awful nightmare and real life had blurred.

Karen was crying, and her eyes were very blue, and she was standing up, inching towards Matt with one hand out and one hand behind her for balance. And she - good girl, Foggy thought fiercely, because his best friend had gone crazy and was about to break his arm, but Karen was playing along with Matt, she might be sobbing but she said "they're - they're not here, Nelson and Page, they're not -"

At which point Matt growled "you're lying," sounding furious and betrayed, and did something to Foggy's arm that made him yell because the alternative would be throwing up.

Which was when Karen brought her other arm out from behind her and pepper sprayed Matt and Foggy full in the face, because the universe was unjust.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ridiculously-Hot-McBurner-Phone Nurse walked down the hallway to Matt's apartment, and Foggy saw her coming a second before Karen did.

Now he had a reason to really panic, because the last time he'd seen her at Matt's apartment, Matt had been lying half-dead on the floor, and if Matt was half-dead on the floor, then he might not be ready or willing to have the conversation with Karen, but Foggy was absolutely going to snitch him out.

At this point, Foggy even hoped that Claire was there because Matt was unconscious, because the alternative would be - the alternative would be that Matt was conscious and - delusional, or suffering some kind of psychotic break. Foggy wouldn't blame him! He could see it happening if you were a blind guy with a hero complex who felt like you were responsible for all street crime in the neighborhood. Foggy only had to deal with the wave of crushing love that meant he felt responsible for Matt and Karen, and that was almost enough, at this point, to make him want to call a three month long time out. Kidnap Matt and Karen and stuff them on a plane to Hawaii, drive everyone hours up into the mountains where even Matt wouldn't be able to hear people calling for help, and sleep. Fruity drinks with umbrellas. Nobody crying for weeks at a time.

"Hey, Karen, want to run away with me once we find Matt?" he asked, which was enough to make her give him a half-amused, half-confused glance from under all that long glorious hair. She nodded to - Claire? Claire, although Foggy personally had his suspicions that she might be using a fake name. Wasn't that what people did, when they carried burner phones and stitched people up in their houses in the middle of the night?

"You know her?" she murmured, out of the corner of her mouth. Foggy fought the urge to bang his head against the wall.

She stopped when she saw them - shit, Foggy saw her recognizing him, which was awful - but she picked up steam again. She wore dark blue scrubs and looked tired, no makeup. Good: sure, she was Matt's friend, so maybe she wouldn't have bothered to put makeup on, but still, it didn't look like a booty call. Hopefully she was the calvary, in this particular situation. They needed a break: they were due a break.

"Hi," she said. Karen elbowed Foggy, not very subtly. "I need to talk to Matt?"

"Join the club," Foggy said, trying to telegraph "DON'T GIVE IT AWAY TO KAREN" with his eyebrows, which hurt his whole face. "He's not home or he's not answering the door, which is great, because earlier today he was really - not okay."

"I have a key," she said, short and flat, which made Karen's eyebrows go straight into her hairline. Even Foggy would've been a little bit impressed, if he hadn't known about the - creepy after-hours bleeding-to-death bonding rituals they'd apparently gone through. "Why do you look like you've been maced?"

"I maced him," Karen said mildly.

"Right," Claire said. "I don't - right."

<<<<<<<<<

The joy - and problem - with Karen was that she wasn't in any way stupid. So when Claire unlocked the door and hissed, she was the first one in the apartment. And.

Well.

Matt, Foggy thought. Oh no, Matt.

"Oh my god," Karen whimpered. He leaned into her and she curled around his arm, shaking hard enough for him to feel. "Where did it all - come from?"

There was blood on Matt's sheets - not a lot, but the bed was unmade and it wasn't clean. More worrying were the prints - even, unhurried footprints tracked across Matt's floor. In a perfect world - in a good world - they would've been made with mud or dirt or fucking strawberry jelly, Foggy didn't care, but they did in fact look like. Blood. Unless it was just Foggy, jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Matt didn't keep enough food in the apartment, generally, to let anything go bad, but there was a bad, sweet smell strong enough for Foggy to smell.

Which was a disaster, he realized, belatedly, because if something was strong enough for him to smell, Matt must have - not noticed, or stopped caring. Would Claire know?

"You two need to not touch anything right now," Claire said. Her mouth was tense. She pulled gloves and a paper mask out of her bag. "I'm saying this as a professional."

<<<<<<<

Karen sighed. "We need to talk about Matt," she said, "and I need you to not stonewall me."

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Foggy said. "I think I still have milk up my nose, by the way, I cannot believe you maced me in the face."

She gave him the look of Sad Disappointment, which could've probably killed lesser men. "Look, I get it. You're his best friend, you guys have been joined at the hip forever, it took me a minute to figure out you weren't actually dating -"

"- hey! we could be dating! I'll have you know I'm very good at picking up people much, much hotter than me," Foggy said.

"- but I spent a lot of time with Ben before he." She shook her head, pressed her lips together. "Before he died," she said, careful and precise. I'm not mad at you, Foggy."

"Good," he said, thinking oh fuck, "great -"

"Who's Ben?" Claire asked, from where she was poking in the trash with a mask hooked over her nose and mouth.

"A friend. A reporter," Karen said. "OK, now I'm mad, Foggy, do you think I'm stupid? Matt is always "walking into doors" at night when we're not around - which is the only reason I didn't think you were beating him, by the way, that is the worst excuse -"

"Oh no," Claire said, looking up suddenly. "Wait, what, that was your guys' excuse? My god. Don't say that at the hospital, it triggers two or three procedures and you're going to get a lot more attention."

"Yes. Thank you," Karen said.

"Who are you again?" Claire asked. Foggy couldn't see her mouth through the mask, but the corners of her eyes had crinkled up. Karen looked up, and the tension in her shoulders relaxed as Claire got - lucky Claire - the full-on truly pleased Karen Page smile.

"Karen," she said. "I'm their secretary. We. Um. We - fight crime? together? It sounds stupid but Fisk, we got him, we did it, that's why it's going to trial."

Claire smiled at Karen, then, slow and considering, and said "I guess I owe you a drink, then," and Foggy tried to control the simultaneous heart attacks.

>>>>>>>>>

"I don't know, I can't find anything," Claire said, finally. "Fuck. Mr. Nelson -"

" - my god, Foggy, please,"

"- Foggy. Do you know where Matt's been over the past few days? We've - oh my god, HIPAA, ok, look, we've seen some very worrying cases and I need to know, honestly." She grabbed her hair and pulled. "No, don't look at Karen, look at me: honestly. There's some freaky shit going down and this is not okay."

"Like I was about to say," Karen said, like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, "Matt spends a lot of time getting badly hurt on a weird schedule. I've heard that voice before; kind of hard to miss the part where Matt goes crazy and starts talking about breaking people's arms ." She folded her arms, and whoah, Karen might have said that she wasn't mad, but Foggy knew mad when it was glaring at him. "I have no idea how a blind man runs around like a ninja rescuing people all over the city, but that's not important. Where's he been? I think secrets are less of a priority than -" she flung an arm out - "blood all over the place and - and -"

"oh thank god you figured it out," Foggy said. OK. Sue him; he'd never make it as a spy. "Shit, Karen, I - I have been telling him and telling him that this is not the thing anyone appreciates being kept in the dark about -"

And she gave him the full Karen Page grin, all the way up to eleven, and said, "OK fair is fair, I didn't know for sure until right now." And then she deflated - what Foggy wouldn't give to keep that smile on her face - and pulled her shoulders up a quarter inch. "Sorry?"

"We have got to get you in the courtroom, you'd kill it," he said.

"What do you mean," Claire said, slowly, "'Matt went crazy'? Crazy how, exactly?"

"What kind of freaky shit are you seeing at the hospital?" Karen asked.

"No," Foggy said. "no no no, we are all friends here, I declare it. No scooting around each other like we're on opposing sides in the courtroom. Claire, Matt didn't - seem like he recognized us, today."

Claire frowned, and then she closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. "You maced Foggy," she said. "Did you intend to hit him, or was that an - did Matt seem aware to person, place, and time?"

"What kind," Karen said, patiently, "of freaky shit, exactly?"

"No," Foggy said. "He didn't - recognize me. He has literally always recognized me."

"Lawyers," Claire said. She looked worried and angry. "We're seeing two or three - very sick, disoriented people, which is - one thing, maybe, fine, sure, but we have been inundated by lawyers for Stark Industries, and I really wanted -" she shrugged. "Matt. Masked guy. I wanted someone to help me, because they don't care about a couple sick people in a Hell's Kitchen ER, y'know?"

<<<<<<<<<<

(THE PLOT...sort of slowly oozes forward! like i said, yikes, i hope this plot works for what the OP had in mind! all of y'alls comments are GIVING ME LIFE, i keep blushing and grinning everytime someone says something.

aside: ...this plot sort of happened when i considered what it might be like to live in the MCU if you weren't a superspy or a billionaire or an actual god, and...uh. UNPLEASANT, is my final guess. that is totally my opinion! yours may differ and that's okay, y'know?)
